Chapter Seven

Loki was gone, Bruce was missing, Thor has fallen into a trap and Agent Colson was dead. Moral could not have been any lower, yet somehow I had less than everyone else. Not only did I have the memories of my dream running through my head, the smells seeping into my nose. I felt the urge to throw up and shudder every few minutes. We all sat in silence in the main room, Director Fury just showed us the Captain America vintage playing cards Colson had in his jacket, as if that was supposed to help us.
“Wit!” I looked up at him, not saying a word. “It looks like we’re short a few members. You may have to fill in.” I tried to swallow, but my mouth was too dry. I couldn’t form words, I just nodded like I always did; this had started to become an easy habit for me. I felt someone rest their hand on my shoulder and my heart skipped a beat, hoping it was Bruce, but I knew by the grip that it was much too strong. I looked up and saw Captain America trying to reassure me that everything would be okay, when it was evident that he didn’t even know if that was true.
I couldn’t take it anymore; I cleared my throat and stood up. “May I be excused?” I heard Fury start to protest but I turned and walked away without hesitation. I found my mind lost and my thoughts scattered, I walked aimlessly throughout the ship, I just didn’t want to be near my room, Bruce’s lab or near Nick Fury. I stopped as I noticed I was now in the middle of the holo-room. Feeling hopeless, I sat on the ground, running my fingers along the floor in random patterns. My thoughts were swarming with ways to get Bruce back. I heard someone enter the room but I didn’t care by this point.
“So…” Tony cleared his voice, “you’re the one who can tame the beast?” I shot him a death glare. Tony instinct-fully put up his arms in surrender and stopped moving. “Alright I get it; you aren’t as fluffy and cuddly as your boyfriend.” He now sat beside me, waiting for me to reply, hopefully in a calm fashion this time.
“He’s not my boyfriend…” I mumbled. Tony nodded, he was obviously taking this as serious as I was, which was very weird for Tony. He was always the bubbly one making jokes and poking at people’s nerves.
“Well, most people like us don’t really have boyfriends or girlfriends… wives or husbands even. We just have to find someone who is able to be our companion through our tough times and our amazing times.” He paused; I could feel the love flowing through his body. It’s the first time I felt I could resonate with Tony Stark. He’s nice when he isn’t being an arrogant asshole.
“You found that in Pepper right?” I could feel Tony smile.
“And just like you found in Bruce. I read up on you kid, not gonna lie… you are a scary person.” I looked at the ground again, holding back the memories and tears. “Hey hey now. Don’t do that, I can’t handle….” He made a weird movement with his arms “…emotions.”
I laughed. “Bruce helps me forget about it to be honest. He treats me like a person, not some monster that has killed thousands of people.”
“Ah…yes well. I can only imagine the big green guy thinks the same of you. He probably thinks your god-sent!” I shook my head, knowing that would all change one day.
“You can’t call him that, he’s Bruce okay? Anyways, that will all change when he knows what I have done.” Tony laughed but went quiet quickly, pondering his response.
“Alright, I will call him Bruce, and for someone who cares so much about him, you don’t give his mind enough credit. The man is excruciatingly smart, he probably knows more about you than you care him to know, he just chooses to not bring it up or judge you with it. If anyone would understand how it feels to be judged by your actions, it’s Bruce. I mean, cmon… he turns into a giant green rage monster!” I gave Tony another glare and he almost ducked his head.
I looked out into the distance of the room, pondering what Tony had said. Is that really the reason why he never asked questions about my powers? Why he never went into the gritty details that I expected him to when I told him what I was capable of. It would make sense, Bruce is brilliant, and I never really understood why he didn’t delve into my abilities…most likely because he already knew. Luckily Tony broke the silence before my thoughts could delve further.
“You know I have an exact replica of this room in the R and D section of Stark Towers. You could visit sometime and practice in it. Besides, I think you will like the company that comes with.” I looked at him, trying to read his expression but unable. He had that stupid smug smile on his face.
“What’s the catch?” He continued to smile and just shook his head.
“No catch. I just plan on confiscating your boy toy and having him work for me…soo I was going to assume that you would want to come with. You can be Pepper’s new assistant and body guard. It will work splendidly!” He waiting for me to protest but hardly waited a few seconds before clapping his hands together, which made me jump.
“Sounds like a plan! It’s all settled then.” He got up and looked around, “Now, we have to go get Hawkeye, Cap and Black Widow. I know where Loki is striking next and I would love for you to come.” I looked up at him and reached out an arm. Grabbing it, he helped me up.
“Just let me get my glaive. I will meet you on deck.” I walked quickly through the halls. Loki is the reason Bruce wasn’t with me, he had come to destroy this world, but I knew that we would stop him before he could. People forget that love is one of the strongest emotions a human can feel, so for us to avenge someone that we love, to protect something that we love, we will do anything it takes. Cruel men who feel no adoration forget that.

Glaive in hand, I was ready to depart. I walked out onto the deck to see Tony waiting for me. I run to the jet, apologizing for my lateness. When I sat down, I noticed a man who I had not seen before.
“My name is Naomi Wit,” I extended my arm to him, “it’s a pleasure to meet you.” He stared at my hand and then he looked up at me, finally revealing his face. I knew him from somewhere, I just couldn’t pinpoint it.
“Clint Barton.” He said as he gripped my hand. “But you seem to already know that.” I shook my head in protest. He obviously mistook my expression.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know who you are; you just have a very familiar face.” He simply nodded, it seems like everyone here takes everything seriously except Tony, but his funny bone is borderline annoying and arrogant most of the time. I let out a sigh, forgetting my manners.
“I was sent by S.H.E.I.L.D. to watch over you for a bit while you were under command of Rufe. You may have caught glimpses of me every now and then.” I snapped my head up, looking at his face once more.
“That’s where I know you from! I thought you were just a meaningless security guard in your uniform…sorry…not to call you meaningless.” He actually laughed at this, a reaction I was not expecting.
“Don’t worry. That was when S.H.E.I.L.D. backed off a bit though. I told them that you had no interest in killing innocent people, just those Rufe sent you after. We knew that if we protected those people long enough, you would notice what kind of man Rufe really was.” I nodded slowly, allowing myself a half-hearted smile.
“You sure got that right…” I looked back down at the ground, longing for Bruce to rest his hand near mine, reassuring me that everything would be okay. Hawkeye took the co-pilot seat beside Black Widow as Captain America and I sat still, awaiting our arrival.
“You’ll be fine.” Steve’s voice startled me. I looked up at him and smiled.
“I know, luckily I know how to hold my own. I’m just worried about all of the innocent people.” Captain America nodded in agreement.
“Well that’s why they have us right?” He was so enthusiastic, it was astonishing sometimes. I guess this world we live in now has a lot more negativity attached to it than it did in his era. I nodded my head.
“Right.” Before I could say anything else, I felt our jet take a blast. I quickly scrambled for my buckles but was thrown out of my seat and onto Steve. He grabbed me tight with one of his arms, I knew I wasn’t going anywhere.
We were free-falling, I could tell that much. The impact onto the ground made my stomach feel like it was in my throat. It made me appreciate traveling via ground a lot more. The back hatch opened up and we all sprang to life, grabbing our weapons and following Steve.
Halfway through the chaos we all stopped, hearing a sound that was alien to us all. Looking up at the sky we saw a giant flying monster, it was covered in armour. Looking at it, I knew it would be near impossible for us to kill by ourselves. As it glided through the city, soldiers were shot out from its sides and onto adjacent buildings. This was when it would get interesting.
I heard Steve yell out commands to Hawkeye and Black Widow, he looked at me next. “You need to assist in evacuating those buildings. Can you do that?” I nodded and started to run to the nearest building. People were flooding out of the stairwells, I knew I wouldn’t be able to walk up them but there was no other way.
I reached out in my mind and stopped them all from moving, allowing myself to get into the stairwell and then I let go of my control over them. They ran faster than before, now thinking I was a threat as well. I jumped up onto the railing, giving myself a second to balance; I continued to climb to each level, balancing myself on the hand rail.
Luckily there weren’t many enemies, and I stopped the few that posed a threat. Soon enough, I had cleared the buildings. Directing the last survivors to the nearest underground entrance, I looked over to see if Hawkeye and Black Widow were okay. That’s when I saw Thor had joined us. Wanting to join them, I started to walk towards the group. I heard the sound of a motor behind me and everyone looked at my direction. I slowly turned around to see Bruce riding in on a broken down motorcycle.
My heart skipped, jumped and leaped all at the same time. He dropped the bike and embraced me, holding me tightly. “Bruce…” I breathed into his neck. I pulled back and held his face in my hands. “Are you okay? You aren’t hurt are you?” I felt his body for anything that was bruised or broken. He just laughed.
“Yes, yes I’m fine.” He held my hand and brought it away from his face. “I’m okay Naomi. I promise.” I smiled and let my worries go. I knew we would win now, I had my fight back and nobody could win against a Hulk. I heard someone clear their throat behind me and I quickly remembered that we we’re in the middle of battle.
“Bruce, it’s about time you get angry.” Steve said. I could only imagine that he would have been the one to clear his throat too. Bruce smiled, holding my face in his hands. He then looked over at the rest of the group. He nodded and looked at the flying monster.
“I’m always angry.” Were that last words Bruce said before I saw him turn into his alter-ego. As he brought his fist down on my monsters skull, I leaped onto the back of the Hulk, preventing myself from getting squished like a bug. I felt the muscles move and tense as he put force behind his punch, slowly bringing the beast to a standstill.
Tony exploded the monsters carcass with his rockets. The city rang with the cries of the aliens, but it was returned with the hulk’s roar. We now had the upper hand, being able to defeat their giant beasts. Steve again gave orders and then looked at Bruce. “Hulk smash.” Is all he had to say before he placed me down on the ground and leaped onto buildings, smashing the heads and bodies of the extra-terrestrials.
I stood and watched in amazement as the hulk bounded from one building to another, crushing everything in its wake. I now fully understood why Bruce feared him so much, but I don’t think he gives himself enough credit for the control he has. The Hulk was now out of sight, looking around I noticed that I was distracted for a bit longer than anticipated. Everyone had left to defend different parts of the city. Before I could move a dozen enemies dropped to the ground and surrounded me. They all pointed their guns towards me, making sounds among themselves. I quickly had to think of solutions.
I couldn’t jump out of the middle of their circle, they would just follow my movement and shoot me mid-air, but then it clicked. I closed my eyes and reached out to the minds closest to me. They were all alien and bizarre. It hurt to search but I had to do it quickly, it felt like a bomb was about to go off and I had to choose between the red and the blue wire. I searched the area that control’s the human’s senses, I shut down that part of their brain, hoping their brain was similar to the humans. Thankfully I was correct.
They all screamed out in surprise and anger, I knew I only had moments to get out. I ran forward and used one of the aliens to leap out of the circle, stepping on him in the process. I then grabbed onto his back and used him as a meat shield as they all shot into the open space, killing each other. By cutting off their senses, they wouldn’t be able to feel me holding onto his back.
I dropped the dead carcass when I heard the shooting stop, letting it hit the ground; I heard its neck snap. I shuddered at the sound but walked forward, looking for anyone else who needed assistance. When I saw nobody, I looked into the sky towards the opening. I saw Iron Man fly through the opening and I let out a cry. What was Tony doing?
I looked around frantically at that point, trying to find a way to help him. As long as they don’t stop the tesseract, Tony will be able to come back. A sigh of relief came over me, I was calm again. Everything would be okay. I saw the beam of light stop and my heart sank. I screamed for someone to help Tony, my cry echoed through the streets. I watched in anticipation, slowly chanting to myself “Please Tony…please.”
The hole was seconds from closing when I saw a little red man fall through the sky, but he kept falling and falling…Why isn’t he turning his blasters on. All of the sudden, The Hulk leaped through the air and caught Iron Man. He held onto him until they got to the ground. I ran to be with all of them, Thor and Captain America joined me from another end of the street. We looked on in silence, all of us lost for words and solutions.
I looked over at Bruce, his alter-ego was grunting out of frustration. He act’s almost like a prime mate sometimes. We locked eyes and he was sad all of the sudden, I looked back down at Tony, wanting to avoid his gaze, and noticed my cheeks were a bit damp. The Hulk roared and Tony jumped back to life, gasping and obviously scared. I couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. Bruce then let out another triumphant bellow, pounding his chest.
“What the hell…” Tony gasped in between sentences. “What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me.” There was a silence among the group, except for the few snorts I let out while I tried to still stifle my laughter. Leave it to Tony to have a near-death experience and worry if anyone kissed him. We all looked to Steve, the person Tony was directing his questions to.
“We won.” Steve said, looking out towards the now ruined city. Tony let out a sign of relief, letting his head rest back down on the ground.
“Alright hey! Alright good job guys. Let’s just not come in tomorrow.” Tony grunted, obviously in pain. “Let’s just take a day.” He pointed to Bruce “You ever try shawarma? There’s a shawarma joint about two blocks from here, I don’t know what it is but I wanna try it.”
“We are not finished yet.” Thor’s voice boomed and I nodded in agreement. Thor saw this and smiled his big friendly smile. Tony was still breathing hard, but you could tell he wanted to say something. Nodding as well, he made a counter argument.
“And then shawarma after.” I laughed and gave Tony my hand to help him get up.
“If they don’t want to you, I will go with you.” Tony smiled and clapped me on the shoulder.
“Now there is a true team player!” I smiled and just shook my head. He’s back to his cheeky self again, that’s for sure. “I heard you were worried about me? Screaming my name through the empty New York streets. Does Bruce know? He will be pretty upset won’t he?” I stopped and glared at him, I could feel The Hulk looking at him too.
“Careful Stark, or else next time I’ll make sure you don’t come back.” Tony howled with laughter.
“Glad to see your back spit-fire.” He just smiled at me with his infamous cheeky smile. I had grown to hate that smile. The Hulk moved to stand beside me, I giggled at the obvious reason for his movement. I placed my hand on his huge bicep, letting him know that I knew I was his and nobody else’s.
“Shall we go get Loki then?” I asked and the men nodded. The Hulk picked me up in his arm and held me close as he jumped up the buildings, into the Stark Tower. When he placed me on the balcony, I studied his face like I always did. Trying to read his emotions, wanting to make sure that he was okay. The Hulk just rested a hand on my cheek and I knew it was Bruce. I wanted to cry, I missed him and wanted nothing but to hold him. I just knew there were more important things to take care of at that time.
We all arrived, one by one until the whole team was together once again. We all walked into the room and watched as Loki slowly came to. The look on his face was priceless when he saw all of us standing there, ready to kill him if he protested. Like any smart man, he surrendered before doing anything else.

I hope you all enjoyed the fic! It will get steamy soon, don't worry! From this point on, there isn't going to be much to do with the plot of The Avengers. Just a lot of Bruce, mixed in with Tony and Pepper. :)
Thank you,
